It was only last week that I blogged about the exciting new variant of <a href="http://www.batistehair.co.uk/revitalise-it/floral" target="_blank">Batiste</a> dry shampoo, Batiste Oriental and now, I have another new variant to share with you all!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Once again, I was very excited to see an email pop up in my inbox, with information about the brand new Batiste Floral dry shampoo and I was very happy when Mr Postman delivered a can for me to try out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Batiste have succeeded in creating another beautiful can design, this time a vintage-looking floral print, which is very Cath Kidston. As with all Batiste's variants, this can would make a very pretty addition to a dressing table or shelf.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Described as 'pretty & delicate', Batiste Floral is most definitely both. The floral fragrance is gorgeous, not overpowering, but stays around and keeps hair smelling fresh and floral.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"With top notes of Blossom, a heart of fruity Melon, Orange & Peach and a deep floral base of Rose, Muguet and Violet" - this is such a beautiful scented hair product, which transforms hair to look and smell super-lovely.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really like Batiste Floral. If you are a fan of floral scents, this is a must have!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Batiste Floral is exclusive to Superdrug and retails at £2.99 for 200ml. </div>

In the lead up to Halloween, I am currently lusting after many items that I have seen online. I have compiled a list of my favourites! I am very tempted to buy all of these...</div>

I am also looking to buy a long black wig. I would really like to try black hair, but without making the permanent commitment. I made that mistake back in 2007...<br />
A black wig would be ideal for Halloween, but also for after Halloween.<br />
Any recommendations of reasonably priced, good quality wigs would be very welcome!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As a big fan of Batiste dry shampoo, I was very excited when an email popped up in my inbox, telling me all about the new variant, Batiste Oriental.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was even more excited to receive a can to review and share with you all.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Firstly, what a beautiful can! Batiste always stand out with their lovely can designs but Oriental is really something special. The colours and peacock are so pretty! This would look great on a dressing table and in my opinion, Batiste's cans are much more appealing than any rival dry shampoo.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Taking inspiration from the Far East, Batiste Oriental <span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">has fruity top notes, including apple, wild berry and grape, along with floral middle notes of Jasmine and Iris, with a base of rich coconut, sandalwood and cedar. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">The smell is a nice floral-oriental 'floriental' mix and leaves hair smelling great, as well as feeling fresh and looking volumised.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wash my hair every day at the moment, as I am working out in the gym 7 days a week. Though I haven't required Batiste from freshening up my hair, it has still come in handy, as I use it between work and the gym. I spray my hair with Batiste, before tying it up in a ponytail. I find that using Batiste adds volume and just makes my ponytail a little better. I'm not a fan of slicked-back ponytails, a mattified and volumised pony is best for me!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used Batiste Oriental the other night, as we went out for my sister's birthday meal and I wanted to add some volume to my hair. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall, I am loving Batiste Oriental and would highly recommend it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Batiste Oriental makes a great addition to my <a href="http://ameliasallsorts.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/my-batiste-collection.html" target="_blank">collection</a>, which I blogged about earlier this year. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Batiste Oriental is available at Boots, Superdrug, ASOS, supermarkets and various chemists. RRP £2.99.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

The blue and purple-pink <a href="http://ameliasallsorts.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/hair-story-part-3-diy-mermaid-hair-with-schwarzkopf-live-color-xxl.html" target="_blank">Mermaid hair</a> stayed strong throughout
Download Festival and all the rain, then after a few washes and some fading, I
decided to strip the colour.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I used 1 box of ColourB4, which I left on my hair for 60 minutes.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
The end result was a turquoise/pastel blue shade, which I
actually really liked. I’d always wanted to try pastel-coloured hair.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
A couple of people described it as ‘Mermaid hair’, and anything mermaid is good with me.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
In my <a href="http://ameliasallsorts.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/hair-story-part-2-going-blonde-with-schwarzkopf-live-color-xxl-max-blonde.html" target="_blank">last post</a>, I spoke about the pre-lightening process that I went through, using Schwarzkopf Live Color XXL 00B Max Blonde, in preparation for my blue and pink Download Festival hair. I also tested some Schwarzkopf Live Color XXL Electric Blue on a strand of hair.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
The fourth day came, and it was time for the big hair colouring session. Time to brave it and go for the full head blue and pink...</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy4TmOeKVMqQlrsevKYMtfy9F5Qd3ieQn11sH3lh8a82F5Eezh2PgA2sl1qACE8c_oeyCtqTM0lHcnmyhiJz2ez0IKRR9ke9qT6SBViGwSTiv_LlIGyaN9tlEluR2caNC01t0f5kgLvqI/s1600/EB1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy4TmOeKVMqQlrsevKYMtfy9F5Qd3ieQn11sH3lh8a82F5Eezh2PgA2sl1qACE8c_oeyCtqTM0lHcnmyhiJz2ez0IKRR9ke9qT6SBViGwSTiv_LlIGyaN9tlEluR2caNC01t0f5kgLvqI/s320/EB1.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Thankfully, I had decided that it was best to buy another
box of Schwarzkopf Live Color XXL Electric Blue, as 1 box just wouldn’t have been enough!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Once again, my sister helped me out. Thanks Donna! We started by
wetting my hair, then sectioning in to 2, with the hair brought to the front. We then covered the bottom of my hair in Schwarzkopf Live Color XXL Shocking Pink, before spreading Schwarzkopf Live Color XXL Electric Blue
throughout the rest of my hair, from the roots, the start of the pink section.
Once Donna had finished helping, we left the dye to develop, adding a little more
Schwarzkopf Live Color XXL Shocking Pink with my glove-less fingers (sin!), particularly focusing on the area where
the blue ended and pink began, to make sure no blue was left and that the
colours blended together nicely.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The dyes were left to develop for around 30 minutes, before
I got in the shower and washed my hair.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As I washed the colours together, the pink ended up more of
a purple-pink shade, but I loved the end result.</div>
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Great success, I had the mermaid hair
which I have always wanted.<br />

After creating my Mermaid/Download hair, I was left with over half a tube of Schwarzkopf Live Color XXL Shocking Pink, which I

<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">Disclaimer: I was very excited to have been sent a box of Live Color XXL Electric Blue and Live Color XXL Shocking Pink from Schwarzkopf. The second box of Live Color XXL Electric Blue was purchased with my own money, as were the 2 boxes of Live Colour XXL Max Blonde, which I used in the pre-lightening process. I am a massive fan of Schwarzkopf and have used many of their hair colours and other products over the years, a lot of which can be found reviewed on my blog. Big thank you to Schwarzkopf for introducing me to these colours! </span></i></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Part 2 of my Hair Story is finally here, this took a while, I know. Life!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
In Part 3, I am going to go through my blue/purple-pink hair, aka
Mermaid/Download hair. The look that I chose for
this years Download Festival.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Before creating my Mermaid/Download hair, I pre-lightened my peachy-blonde hair (the result of using ColourB4 to strip out the faded reddish-brown shade,
which was previously Schwarzkopf Red Berry Passion), to ensure that I got the brightest blue and pink that I could and to cover up the dark roots.<br />
I have used many of Schwarzkopf's hair colors over the years and have always been impressed, so I decided to try their Live Color XXL 00B Max Blonde hair colour to pre-lighten my hair.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2dJsRVaZJhzabOxOHqsOmkyQ-1DR0u2rRNxe4X2GN-GClOoofhlLOVGZb31gzkc5iLGn2kElMMpRTVRxXqfLv7DQ2Ckzm_pd13wF6wQ-cMyPkRZWFKctmijQDgAcKIHXBL3tAhkoS8Ko/s1600/MB0.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2dJsRVaZJhzabOxOHqsOmkyQ-1DR0u2rRNxe4X2GN-GClOoofhlLOVGZb31gzkc5iLGn2kElMMpRTVRxXqfLv7DQ2Ckzm_pd13wF6wQ-cMyPkRZWFKctmijQDgAcKIHXBL3tAhkoS8Ko/s320/MB0.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
I bought a box of Schwarzkopf Live Color XXL 00B Max Blonde,
yes, just 1 box. I later regretted this. 1 box was not enough for my long hair.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
The dye was quite difficult to put through my hair, as it is
very dry and powdery.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
The end result was a bit of a shock,the roots had taken the dye, but the majority of my hair
hadn’t.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I was left with a patchy ‘Racoon’ look. My fault for only using 1 box of dye.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNna-KP727IwZnnkfIIRhdDcdjQ8qTF5ZFqfPLhDZs2qKSlwTJUHgilSBir8iG_osmw4Zuo54Y9X5IXH1kKDsE18Y4B0xkaplHh9SsxTT_wiG7i2Mwq4Ct9jMqB8AMkVuuNMq6dzWG-Fo/s1600/MB1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNna-KP727IwZnnkfIIRhdDcdjQ8qTF5ZFqfPLhDZs2qKSlwTJUHgilSBir8iG_osmw4Zuo54Y9X5IXH1kKDsE18Y4B0xkaplHh9SsxTT_wiG7i2Mwq4Ct9jMqB8AMkVuuNMq6dzWG-Fo/s320/MB1.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
I kept my hair like this the following day, before buying
another box. Weirdly, I received compliments on the Racoon hair.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
That night, my sister put the second box of Max Blonde on my
hair.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Success!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
The end result was very bright, slightly yellow-toned blonde.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

I kept my hair blonde for the next day, before adding a blue
streak that night night, as I wanted to try out Schwarzkopf Live Color XXL Electric Blue, before
going for the full head.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Once I got it right and used the correct amount of dye, Max Blonde worked perfectly to achieve the result that I wanted. I was really impressed at how well and how bright it lightened my hair.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I am considering using Max Blonde again soon, as I want to pre-lighten my hair and try to even out my roots.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

Wow, my hair has changed a lot between June and August!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I’ve always been a fan of hair colour and being someone who
gets bored easily and loves to experiment, at-home DIY hair colouring provides
me with a lot of fun!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Earlier this year, Schwarzkopf kindly sent me 2 of their new
shades from the Live Color XXL Ultra Brights range, Electric Blue and Shocking Pink. I was super-excited to have received
these before they were even available in shops, but I had to hold back on using them, due
to an important business meeting with work! I just wanted to get the colours on
my locks!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
So, it was June and Download Festival was fast approaching.
I decided that I would use the dyes to create my ‘Download Hair’ of 2013. Last year, I had faded purple hair, a result of Schwarzkopf Cyber Purple fade-out, this year...I had blue and purple-pink mermaid hair, yay! Since then, my hair has continued to change, as you can see from my collage! Though a lot of these shades are results of hair colour fade-out. I love a good fade-out! I'm going to do a whole series of My
Hair Story posts, featuring each of the main colours, what products I used and how I achieved them. My Hair Story will continue with a post on my ‘Mermaid/Download Hair’, so stay tuned for that.<br />
<br />
I'd love to hear from fellow hair colour lovers!<br />
<b><i>Are you daring with hair colour?</i></b><br />
<b><i>What is your favourite colour?</i></b><br />
<b><i>At home DIY colouring, or done by salon pro's? </i></b></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Disclaimer: Schwarzkopf kindly sent me 1 box of Electric Blue and 1 box of Shocking Pink, from their Live Color XXL Ultra Brights range, for review. I have always loved the brand and have blogged about them many times. My post on their <a href="http://ameliasallsorts.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/schwarzkopf-live-color-xxl-ultra.html" target="_blank">Raspberry Rebel</a> shade has received over 12,000 hits to date, for which I am very grateful and happy. I also used a box of Colour B4 (from Medichem), which was also sent to me some time ago, as a thank you for the review that I did on Colour B4.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>As always, all opinions are 100% honest and my own. I would highly recommend both Schwarzkopf and Colour B4 and rave about these on my blog, on Twitter and away from the internet, to friends, family, bloggers and others!</i></span></div>

Hello All</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(or whoever is still reading my blog, after the closure of Google Reader!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has been over a month since my last blog post and boy, oh boy, the past month has been crazy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have so much to talk about, as always. So expect to see a lot more posts coming up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have 5 days off work, starting tomorrow, as part of my Birthweek celebrations. Yes, on Monday 8th, I turn 26 years young! And in my usual style, I'm going all-out on the celebrations!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tonight, I am going to Wolverhampton, for a few drinks at The Giffard Arms, with my lovely sister. I love The Giff, it's an awesome 'rock pub', similar to my favourite hometown pub, The Yorkshire House, except The Giff is larger, with 2 floors, a beer garden and a 2 dancefloors (and an awesome gothic chair!).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Friday - Alton Towers with my sister, then home, quick change and off to Aberystwyth, for a night of camping, sunset on the beach and drinks, with 3 of my good lad mates</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Saturday - Day at the seaside in Aber, then a meal and drinks with friends in the evening</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sunday - LONDON!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Monday - LONDON!!! Yes, I will be waking up in London on my actual birthday - way too excited about this!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tuesday - Chill out day, lunch, cupcake catch-up with my bestest in the lovely Ironbridge, then cinema to see Now You See Me</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'M SO EXCITED, I NEED TO SHOUT!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(This is a joke between a couple of friends and I, FYI)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anywhoooo, enough of the over-excited rambling...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a bit of what I've been up to since my last post:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Micellar water has become a big thing in beauty recently. It cleanses, removes make-up, unclogs pores and so much more.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been using up small samples from various brands and I was on the search for a good micellar water to order a full-size bottle of! So, I was really excited when I received an email from <a href="http://www.escentual.com/" target="_blank">Escentual</a>, asking if I would like to take part in their 14 day #MicellarBlindTrial. I jumped at the chance!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
100 people were selected and we all received 7 generous 20ml dropper bottles of micellar water, from 7 different brands...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
BUT...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We do not know which is which! The bottles are simply labelled Sample A - Sample G.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How exciting?!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The brands in this trial are Dior, Caudalie, Bioderma, Nuxe, La Roche-Posay, Vichy and Avène. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think that this is a fantastic idea and I am really excited to have been a part of the trial.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I haven't seen dropper bottles since school, this feels like a fun science experiment! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last year, I received Taaj micellar water in one of my old beauty boxes and that stuff was great!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found the majority of the micellar waters nice to use, except for one...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sample B -Well, this caused me some problems! My skin flared up, went red, blotchy and a load of spots appeared, almost immediately. This may sound stupid, but after a few days break, using different micellar waters (which helped my skin recover), I decided to return to Sample B, just to check! The result, immediate bad skin, again. Confirming that it was Sample B. When I told my mum, she had a stress. I've always had sensitive skin, so the very perfumed Sample B did not go well with my skin! My sister and friend even commented a couple of times on my 'blotchy' skin. One of my sister's comments was "You haven't had spots like that in years! Eurgh!". Charming, I know. But that is how bad my skin reacted!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have now submitted my results, via Escentual's very tough survey. It was difficult to choose a favourite, but Sample C definitely stood out to me, as it really helped to soothe, calm and cleanse my skin, particularly after my incident with Sample B. Sample C was a bit of a saviour. I would probably try all the micellar waters again, bar Sample B. Though some were quite drying. Sample A had a strong scent, which I read a lot of people were not fond of, but it was quite nice, in my opinion. All others (apart from the highly perfumed Sample B) had quite nice, refreshing scents, some almost unscented.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you to Escentual, for giving us this opportunity.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I look forward to the reveal of what brands were which samples.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

Last Sunday, I attended Illamasqua's monthly Beauty School Drop-In, at Selfridges, Birmingham. More about that soon!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And of course, I couldn't walk away from the Illamasqua counter empty-handed...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Illamasqua have just launched their new Paranormal Collection and from seeing a sneak peak of the glittery UV polishes in last month's Company Magazine, I knew I had to have some!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-20Tj0jXLIY8/UY7O4AdDtpI/AAAAAAAAHPE/Lfr8zJmwVAs/s1600/Illamasqua+Omen.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Illamasqua Paranormal Collection" border="0" height="177" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-20Tj0jXLIY8/UY7O4AdDtpI/AAAAAAAAHPE/Lfr8zJmwVAs/s320/Illamasqua+Omen.jpg" title="Illamasqua Omen Nail Polish Review" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used my BlanX White Shock LED light to check out the UV effect, wow!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not usually a fan of green nails, but Omen, the green, glittery polish from the Paranormal Collection, really stood out to me! It's a gorgeous colour. The other colours available are Ouija (pink), S<span class="st">éance</span> (purple) and Geist (a clear UV topcoat). I already have many pink and purple polishes, but I would love to try these Paranormal polishes too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Omen is a beautiful light green, glitterful polish.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is UV, as are all the Paranormal polishes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The shade reminds me of Ariel, The Little Mermaid's fin. And anything mermaid is a winner with me!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm in love with this polish!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is my second Illamasqua nail polish, but I definitely plan to buy more soon! You can read my review of Scarce, the speckled polish from the I'mperfection Collection, <a href="http://ameliasallsorts.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/illamasqua-imperfection-speckled-nail.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Illamasqua polishes are a little more expensive than the usual high-street/drugstore brands, such as Barry M and Models Own. Retailing at £15 each, the price is high but you definitely get what you pay for, great quality! The price is the only reason that I didn't buy all 4 of the Paranormal polishes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

When I heard that MAC were collaborating with <a href="https://twitter.com/yelyahwilliams" target="_blank">Hayley Williams</a> from <a href="http://www.paramore.net/" target="_blank">Paramore</a>, I was intrigued. Hayley's style is unique and I love how she works crazy colours, not only clothes, but hair and beauty too. I've always liked Paramore. I remember when I first heard Emergency, way back in 2006/7, then bought their album. Paramore are still around, making music and I love their new track 'Still Into You', it's so catchy!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hadn't planned to buy anything from the Hayley Williams MAC collection at first, mainly as I'm trying to save money and wasn't so sure on the very orange-based collection.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, when the products were released a few weeks back, the hype and swatches made me NEED to buy in to the collection. Plus, there was free delivery, SOLD.</div>

By the time I went on the <a href="http://www.maccosmetics.co.uk/" target="_blank">MAC website</a>, the gorgeous eyeshadow had sold out (boohoo!), BUT, the lipstick was still available! I love MAC lipsticks. Since I bought my first (MAC Disney Venomous Villains Violetta) back in 2010, my MAC lipstick collection has grown and grown. I'll be blogging about my collection very soon.</div>

Being a matte lipstick, it is slightly drying, but not as much as others that I have tried and application was smooth.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Opaque colour is achievable in just one swipe.</div>

Unfortunately, this is now sold out but there are many other orange lipsticks available.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Orange is a big beauty trend this year and is perfect for the summer months! I have another bright orange lipstick, Barry M's 117, which I have only ever used once, when I dressed as a pumpkin many-a Halloween ago! I must dig it out and try it again.</div>

Bubblegum ice cream - delicious! We then did a 6 mile coastal walk to Borth, so technically, I worked it off, right?! <br />

I'm a massive lipstick fan and I will wear any and every shade. I have everything from standard nude, pinks, reds, to crazy colours like black, green and blue! </div>

Yesterday, I received an exciting package.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, it was 2 of <a href="http://www.roger-gallet.co.uk/" target="_blank">Roger & Gallet</a>'s new products from their Fleur de Figuier range.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As soon as I opened the package, the gorgeous fruity fragrance wafted out! What a delightful scent.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The scent is very zesty and feminine. It's a great scent for summer days.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you like the smell of grapefruit and fig, you'll love this range!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I received the Fleur de Figuier Soap and Fleur de Figuier Replenishing Body Lotion.</div>

<b>Fleur de Figuier Soap Travel Box (RRP £5.50, 100g):</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well,
I'm not usually a fan of soaps, especially perfumed soaps, as my
sensitive skin does not appreciate them. So, I was slightly worried
about this highly perfumed soap, BUT, this is kind to my skin.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The
soap comes with a plastic travel box, which is handy to store the soap and once I have finished the soap, I will use it for
another soap that fits!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The soap is soft of the skin, super-lathering and the scent is strong and sensational.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Among the qualitities, this soap is 100% plant based, hypoallergenic, paraben free, dermatalogically tested, suitable for vegetarians and vegans. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Fleur de Figuier</b><b> Replenishing Body Lotion (RRP £12.50, 200ml):</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Body lotion is always good. I have so much body lotion to get through, but this is a lovely addition to my hoard.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With 24 hour hydration, Fleur de Figuier Replenishing Body Lotion provides the skin with so much moisture, without being greasy, which is a big plus. It leaves the skin smelling lovely and the scent really lasts on the skin.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fast absorbing and light on skin, <i>what more could you want from a body lotion? </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Infused with fig pulp, for softening and suppleness, along with a bunch of other glorious ingredients: glycerine to hydrate the skin, olive
oil for its antioxidant properties and vitamin content and shea
butter, for nourishing, moisturising and
refreshing.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also in the new Fleur de Figuier range, is a Fresh Fragrant Water and a Gentle Shower Cream. These are definitely on my wishlist!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Late last night, I had a sudden nail art idea. I wanted to try out some more of my <a href="http://www.skinartuk.com/" target="_blank">Skin Art</a> Nail Tattoos and thought up a cute idea, using the bird tattoos and some old nail polishes that I haven't used in a while, Barry M's Blueberry Ice Cream and 17's Mini Skirt.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is such a simple, yet great nail art design to do.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Firstly, apply the blue base, I used Barry M's Blueberry Ice Cream (which is the same colour as my car! Pretty cool.).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once the base is dry, get a small piece of sponge, I tore a little piece off a bath sponge that I bought especially for nail art. Paint the white polish on to the sponge, I used 17's (now known as Seventeen) Mini Skirt. Then simply dab the sponge over the nails.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When the white has dried, clear up any mess around the nails. I used a cotton bud with a little nail polish remover to clear up the white that had gone beyond my nails.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next, apply the birds. (If you have patience and a steady hand, you can create birds using nail polish or a nail art pen!). I used Skin Art's Nail Tattoos, which were in my <a href="http://www.ameliasallsorts.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/northmeetup-goodie-bag.html" target="_blank">goodie bag</a> from the <a href="http://www.ameliasallsorts.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/northmeetup-blogger-event.html" target="_blank">#NorthMeetUp</a>. I used my tweezers to pick the tattoos from the backing sheet, then applied them to my nails, pressing firmly to secure.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally, apply a top coat to finish and seal. I used Barry M's All in One.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found that the top coat improved the look of the sponged white polish, giving it a smoother, more cloud-like look.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's what the clouds looked like before applying a top coat. </div>

Dainty Doll is a brand that I have been wanting to try for a long time, so I was very excited when I found a whole selection of Dainty Doll cosmetics at bargain prices, on a stall in the Metrocentre, during last month's Newcastle trip. I instantly fell in love with the blushers!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.daintydoll.com/" target="_blank">Dainty Doll</a> is Nicola Roberts from Girls Aloud's cosmetic brand, aimed at pale-skinned beauties. I've never been a fan on Girls Aloud, but I love how Nicola has become a style and beauty icon, ditching the fake tan and embracing the pale! She always looks beautiful.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I picked up 2 products, 2 Dainty Doll powder blushers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I chose 002 My Girl and 004 You Are My Sunshine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My Girl is a lovely light pink shade with a subtle shimmer, whilst You Are My Sunshine is a gorgeous shimmery summer coral.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>How much did they cost?</i> Well, I picked these up for the bargain price of just £2.99 each! They retail at £13.50!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I first picked up just My Girl, but returned to the stall after trying You Are My Sunshine in Boots and seeing how gorgeous it was! The fact that it was £13.50 in Boots and £2.99 on the stall also made me NEED to go buy it from the stall.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not 100% sure whether these are real or not...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are a few things that made me question it, the main being how cheap they are being sold for!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One box was slightly larger than the other, 1 says 'Powder Blusher', 1 says just 'Blusher', 1 says Made in UK (with a sticker saying Packed in China), 1 says Made in China.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Regardless, the blushers are absolutely amazing! Application is great, they last ages and have a gorgeous finish. The blushers have a built in mirror, which is always handy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The blush even contains vitamins A, C and E.<br />

This is my second review of <a href="http://www.colourb4.com/" target="_blank">Colour B4</a> Hair Colour Remover (Extra Strength), so it will be a short one. If you'd like to read my full review, you can find my first <a href="http://ameliasallsorts.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/my-colour-b4-story.html" target="_blank">Colour B4 review</a> on my blog. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last time, my hair went from a faded-out purple mix, to a strawberry blonde shade.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This time, my hair went from a faded-out reddish mix, to a strawberry blonde again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was pleasantly surprised with the end result of my second Colour B4 experience.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
As you can see, Colour B4 worked really well and completely removed the reddish shade that my hair was.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Note</i> - the darker top bit is my roots. My roots even have roots... I have a bad habit of letting my hair grow out whilst colours fade out! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am currently using John Frieda Blonde shampoo and conditioner, in hope that this will lighten my hair a little, then I plan to dye it with the blonde John Frieda hair dye I won at the <a href="http://ameliasallsorts.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/northmeetup-blogger-event.html" target="_blank">#NorthMeetUp</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once again, the only downside is the smell. It really is quite an overpowering eggy smell, though this hasn't stayed in my hair as long this time round, phew!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Despite the smell, I would definitely recommend Colour B4 to anyone looking to remove hair dye/colour build up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I always recommend it to people who ask about hair dye and removing colour from hair. Colour B4 is a fantastic product. It doesn't damage hair, contains no bleach or ammonia and works wonders!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Colour B4 is priced at £11.99 but can sometimes be found on offer. (I got 2 for 1 at Superdrug last year!). Colour B4 can be purchased at Boots, Superdrug, selected supermarkets, pharmacies and online. </div>

However, I do have a box that Colour B4 (Medichem) kindly sent me, which I will use in the near future, as I have lots of exciting plans for my hair, so Colour B4 will come in handy :) </span></i></div>

Yes, I have a Batiste dry shampoo 'collection'...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Over the past year or so, I have gathered quite the collection of Batiste cans.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I love Batiste!</b><br />
Seriously, dry shampoo is one of the best beauty product inventions, ever.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Batiste is a saviour.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No more bad hair days, just Batiste Hair Days!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>#BatisteHairDay</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Batiste is my favourite dry shampoo. I've tried others and none have lived up to Batiste's standards! Batiste is cheaper, the product works better, it does not leave hair heavy or chalky and the can designs are so pretty. Batiste have 3 sizes: mini, regular and large.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They come in handy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They last so long.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The bottles are pretty.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The above being main reasons for which I have such a large collection! I can't get rid of them and I often pick up cans if they are on offer, or when new variants are released.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm a hoarder and I hoard Batiste... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I use my Batiste, not only on days where I haven't had time to wash my hair, or my hair is feeling like it needs a freshen up, but also, when I want some volume or matt-look hair.<br />
Having long hair, I do find that smells cling to it, like the greasy spoon deli where I would return from the milk run, to then sit in the office with hair smelling of grease (nothing really worse than that, yuck!). Luckily, I always have a can of Batiste in my office drawer, or in my handbag, so I use it to freshen my hair and rid me of horrendous smells.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
It is a complete essential when I rock out at Download Festival every
summer. I always have a can of Batiste in my tent. Gotta keep fresh
whilst I'm rocking out and partying in fields :) I met a guy at Download
last year, who had a large can of Batiste Tropical in his tent, I
thought that was quite cool. Guys love Batiste too.<br />
<br />
Even when I had crazy Cyber Purple hair, Batiste worked a treat! Unlike another dry shampoo, which looked hideously chalky on my purple locks!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Where do I store all these cans?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, I keep them in the goodie bag that I got at the Batiste Lace launch last year. I like to find ways to re-use, rather than throw things away and the Batiste bag has really come in handy.<br />

A while back, I had some nail art inspiration from the
Batiste Cherry, when it first came out in stores. My <a href="http://ameliasallsorts.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/batiste-cherry-inspired-nails.html" target="_blank">Batiste Cherry inspired nail art</a> went down a
storm, which was great and Batiste loved it :)</div>

I would recommend Batiste and often recommend it to friends, family and fellow bloggers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm always shocked when people tell me they have not tried it, or not heard of Batiste before!</div>

There are so many variants now, different looks, different scents, XXL Volume. I'm not sure I could pick a favourite, though I have always been fond of Wild.</div>

I remember when there was just 1 Batiste, Original. It's great to see how many they have since released!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For more information on Batiste variants, <a href="http://www.batistehair.co.uk/products" target="_blank">click here</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are a couple not on here, including the Wild Party Trio of minis, which was released around Christmas. I haven't tried those!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
More recently, Batiste have introduced coloured dry shampoo to the collection. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't wait for Batiste to bring out their next variant and I'm excited to find out what the next one will be!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Batiste can be found in Boots, Superdrug, Bodycare, supermarkets, pharmacies, <a href="http://www.batistehair.co.uk/where-to-buy" target="_blank">online</a>.<br />

Remember OPI's Minnie Mouse collection? How about dupes at just £2 for 4 polishes?!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
During my 18 polish spree in Newcastle last month, I was rather excited to find these super-cute nail polish minis in Primark. I had to have them. I also got another set, which I am about to try out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The set includes 4 polishes: a bright Barbie pink, a shimmery darker pink, a reddish pink and a light pink glitter filled with hearts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Primark's mini sets are a bargain, at only £2 for 4 polishes, you can't really go wrong. I never imagined they would be so good though, very impressed!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to use all 4 polishes and created a lovely, cute look:</div>

I will say, the hearts were a 'mare to apply! They just would not
stay on the brush, so were difficult to get out. That is my only issue
with the set.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Quick drying, with a great finish and just 2 coats used! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is my second set of Primark mini polishes and both have been really really surprising in how good the polishes are, especially at such a bargain price.</div>

Yes, I've bought another nail polish.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIhig7lWJP-rEwKcjwcEwbR5EWbZxgs6OsN5hsgJ6SvZFMk7dkU9WCMf-Jhzv7-xBYKZ53Sr53uV36Qp3twV7jd47IV6RC3Wasaj3WMpKVJjMwrGlEbGLUg6Sd-PsQPpwJJx_keHXNLew/s1600/auto20130414-023437.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIhig7lWJP-rEwKcjwcEwbR5EWbZxgs6OsN5hsgJ6SvZFMk7dkU9WCMf-Jhzv7-xBYKZ53Sr53uV36Qp3twV7jd47IV6RC3Wasaj3WMpKVJjMwrGlEbGLUg6Sd-PsQPpwJJx_keHXNLew/s320/auto20130414-023437.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On Saturday, I went to Birmingham with my work friend, Erika. I'll be honest, we made the 1 hour journey to Birmingham, mainly to admire Ryan Gosling in The Place Beyond The Pines! (which was great, btw) Birmingham was the nearest showing, shocking. We'd already been sad about missing Zac Efron in The Paperboy, due to there being NO showings anywhere near Shropshire...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, we decided to make a day of it! We had a lush lunch at Revs on Broad Street, then watched the film, before heading to the Bullring for some shop browsing. I was very good and resisted breaking in to my savings to buy anything, only purchasing Revlon's Girly nail polish, as a little treat. I'd wanted it for a while and when I saw £2 off, I couldn't resist.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Girly is a gorgeous, well, girly, pink/lilac base with different shades and sizes of glitter.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used 2 coats.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 was a little too sheer, the base colour didn't really show.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A second coat added that extra colour and glitter.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This would be nice layered over a lilac or pale pink polish. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Removal was awful, as expected from such a glitter-filled polish. (A lot of effort when I'd only had it on my nails for just 24 hours! - I removed it to try out another recently purchased polish.)</div>

If you read my last <a href="http://www.ameliasallsorts.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/northmeetup-blogger-event.html" target="_blank">post</a>, you will have heard about the fantastic <a href="http://www.ameliasallsorts.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/northmeetup-blogger-event.html" target="_blank">#NorthMeetUp blogger event</a> that I attended on Sunday (7th April).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The wonderful host, Em, from <a href="http://www.emtalks.co.uk/" target="_blank">Em Talks</a> and the brands that got involved completely spoilt us bloggers with amazing goodies.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought I'd share what was in the bags and given to us on the day of the event.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was overwhelmed by the amount of products and the products included. There were brands that I have never heard of, exciting new products and also, some things which I have been wanting to try for a while!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, here's what I received:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So many goodies! This was the whole lot.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The boot of my 500 was almost filled with the goodies!</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On Sunday 7th April, I attended the #northmeetup at Revolution, Deansgate, Manchester.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Em Sheldon from <a href="http://www.emtalks.co.uk/" target="_blank">Em Talks</a> organised the event, well done girl, you did an amazing job!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The event was so popular, there was a waiting list, as the venue was filled to capacity after us eager bloggers emailed Em immediately after finding out about the event!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I didn't know anyone, a few of us bloggers arranged to meet up before the event. We got in touch via Twitter and arranged to meet at Victoria Station.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I'm very grateful to the girls for waiting a little longer for me to get there. Like the White Rabbit, I'm always running late...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Manchester is over 1 hour and 40 minutes drive for me, but it's the closest event that I think will ever exist. There's not much blogging going on in Shropshire. I don't know of any bloggers that live here!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Walking down the stairs in to Victoria Station, nervous but excited, it was easy to spot the bloggers, the group of glamorous girlies! We all got on instantly, which was great :)</div>

All the girls have fantastic blogs and most have blogged about the event, so check them out :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
We caught the free(!) bus to the venue, Revolution in Deansgate Locks, then headed upstairs to the event. We could barely get up there, it was SO packed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There were lots of talks throughout the afternoon, from various brands, goodies, Krispy Kreme and cupcakes with #bbloggers on them - so cool!</div>

The girls all enjoyed 2-4-1 cocktails, which looked so tasty but
unfortunately, I was on the Diet Coke's, as I drove to Manchester. The
Strawberry Daiquiri's looked so good. But it's OK, I'll have one when
the girls and I meet for cocktails very soon :)</div>

I was particularly intrigued by Glam Glow and Xen-Tan, after the interesting talk by Natalie Roche, Founder of Skin Solutions UK. Natalie ran through the products and I must say, as a fake tanning virgin, it did raise some interest from me!</div>

It was a great event for bloggers to meet, share interests and have a fun girly afternoon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was very surprised when I heard people calling out "Zoe?", then realised that Em had picked my name out of a glass to win a prize. Rachael won almost straight after me too, so we headed to the bar to pick our prizes. We both chose the John Frieda boxes, which were filled with amazing goodies!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Along with all the other goodies, at the end we were given the main goodie bag, a HUGE bag of goodies. I was so happy when I opened it once I got home! Like a child at Christmas. There are lots of products I can't wait to try and some I've wanted to try for a while now, so no doubt I'll be blogging about some of these!</div>

<i>Thursday Night: A quiet drink/catch-up with 2 old friends, turned fairly merry night in my fave pub!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Friday: Family walk in Carding Mill Valley, followed by a random drive to Llangollen with my cousin and friend (via a snowball fight in Chirk!)</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Saturday: Hill walk with my sister, then road trip to Llangollen again but with mum and dad, walked across <span class="st">Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and had a meal at the Telford Inn pub at the other end</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Sunday: Took my parents on a day out in North Wales: Duke of Lancaster 'Mostyn Fun Ship', Rhyl (just for a drink/toilet break!), Llandudno</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Sunday: Car Wash, Telford Shopping Centre, Domino's</i></div>

There are Buy One Get One Free offers in a lot of shops right now, the big supermarkets and also The Disney Store. The Disney Store are cheapest, at £12.99 for 2 DVD's. The offer is on until 14th April 2013, so be quick! There are still many more I want, but I can't afford more, sadly!</div>

I'm so very excited for the #northmeetup this Sunday. Manchester is 1 hour 40 minutes drive, which isn't too far and is much closer than all other meet ups/events, most being London. The event has been arranged by Em Sheldon of emtalks.co.uk and it sounds like she's done a fab job of it! I really can't wait to meet other bloggers and have fun being girls :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

As for Saturday, I planned to stay at home and sort my junk/room out...but now all I want to do is go to the seaside again! We'll see...</div>

On Saturday, my sister and I went for a day out in the big city, London. I originally planned to go alone but my sister decided to join me :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had a great day, apart from public transport being a nightmare. Honestly, if I'd known my sister was going to join me before booking my train ticket, I would have drove instead. I dislike public transport!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The reason why?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">In order to get the cheapest tickets, we had to get the 7:30am train to Birmingham, then wait 30 minutes for the train to London Euston. Then came many tubes throughout the day... But the worst part? The journey home! We left our last stop, Oxford Circus station at around 6:30pm(ish), got 2 tubes back to Euston, where we then had to wait another 30 minutes or more, as we could not use the train that was already there (different train provider). We grabbed some food and drink for the journey, then boarded the train. We then heard a tannoy announcement that we needed to go to the front carriages as there were engineering works between Milton Keynes and Northampton (1 station between these!). Once we arrived in MK, basically the entire train of people left the train and headed outside to the 3 coaches waiting. Then came a really long (30 minutes or so!) journey to Northampton. We then got another train to Birmingham, where we had missed the train, so we then had to wait another 30 minutes or more for the 11:35pm last train home...which was full of drunk people, loud people and the irritating guy in front, playing his awful music aloud on his phone (argh!). We pre-booked our taxi on a payphone in Birmingham New Street, as both our phones had died. 1am, we arrived home.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">First train - 20 stops... Second train 11 stops... It was a very long journey home.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">18 hour day of mainly using public transport, stress!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Public transport rant over. We had a great day, exploring all the cool parts of London; Spitalfields, Shoreditch, Brick Lane (which we stumbled upon by chance!), Camden, Covent Garden and a stop by Topshop on Oxford Street. Sadly no time for any other shops. No Selfridges = sad Zoe.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was fantastic checking out all the amazing street art in Shoreditch and Brick Lane, as well as the ever-cool Spitalfields Market, which was a vintage one on this day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There were some truly outstanding pieces of street art! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's some of my best snaps of the day :)</div>

The moon looked amazing when we got home. I decided to test my new camera on night/moon photo taking and it came out great! So happy with my new camera, I can be a total geek and take photos of the moon when it's looking awesome :)</div>

I hope to return very soon, but drive...</div>

<br />I have never been to the theatre in London but have always wanted to go to We Will Rock You and Wicked, so hopefully I can tick these off my list this year!</div>

Nutritic Intense Riche comes in a <a href="http://www.laroche-posay.com/article/NUTRITIC-Intense-Riche-The-first-signature-jar-by-La-Roche-Posay/a10585.aspx" target="_blank">glass jar</a>, which though quite heavy, does make this look all the more high-end and I do like this.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: center;">
The scent is lovely and fresh. I would liken it to Savlon.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: center;">
I’ve been using this on my face, as well as on dry skin when my skin is troublesome. Recently, I’ve had big problems with my right hand being dry (yes, just the right hand, weird, I know!). This usually happens in winter but this year it seems to be continuing… So, one night, I decided to try Nutritic Intense Riche on my hand. Just a small dab soothed and helped my dry skin almost immediately, which is great! The only problem that I have is due to the weight and glass jar, I am unable to carry this around on a daily basis, to soothe my dry skin when it is sore.<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: center;">
I use Nutritic Intense Riche as a full facial moisturiser a couple of times a week, at night, which is often enough, as the hydration is long-lasting. The moisturiser is quite thick and whilst it is not oily, every day use is not required. The contents of the jar will go a long way, which is good. I then use it whenever needed, as mentioned above, if I am suffering from patches of dry skin.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: center;">
If you suffer from dry, sensitive skin, this is definitely for you.</div>

Yesterday I reviewed <a href="http://ameliasallsorts.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/models-own-mirrorball-dancing-queen.html" target="_blank">Models Own Dancing Queen</a>, from last year's Mirrorball collection, today I bring you Boogie Nights.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: center;">
This is the last of my recent nail polish purchases (until I buy more polish, which no doubt will be very soon…).</div>

If you read yesterday’s <a href="http://ameliasallsorts.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/models-own-mirrorball-dancing-queen.html" target="_blank">post</a>, you will know that the Mirrorball polishes are amazing, sparkly wonders. However, I did have a problem with Dancing Queen being gloopy. Thankfully, I did not have the same problem with Boogie Nights, I was very easy to apply.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: center;">
Boogie Nights is a gorgeous mix of purpley-pinks, gold and blue glitters in various shapes and sizes.</div>

I used Boogie Nights over my faithful Barry M Black Nail Paint, love the finished look. These photos were taken a couple of weeks back, before I filed my nails in to claws. I used 2 coats, 3 on my thumb nail, to see how it looked with an extra coat. The last photo is just 1 coat.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: center;">
There are still 2 polishes from the Mirrorball collection that I do not own, Disco Inferno (gold) and Hot Stuff (pink). These don't appeal to me as much as the other three but who knows, I may end up buying these soon, to add to my crazy, ever-growing polish collection!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: center;">
Models Own polishes cost £5 each and are available from <a href="http://www.boots.com/" target="_blank">Boots</a> and <a href="http://www.modelsownit.com/" target="_blank">Models Own.</a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: center;">
There are often offers on, so keep a look out for these.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: center;">
I got mine on buy one, get one half price from Boots a few weeks ago!</div>
